"Wine [is] a mocker, strong drink [is] raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise" (Proverbs 20:1).
As usual, to push something that God says not to use, people focus on the positive effects. Sure, there are positive effects. If there were no positives, no one would partake of it. No wonder such people are not wise. They think that it has to be all bad to be avoided or condemned.
